Weatherman Jim Cantore hit by flying tree branch, nearly blown away by strong winds while reporting on Hurricane Ian in Florida

Meteorologist Jim Cantore was nearly blown away by strong winds while covering Hurricane Ian. Cantore was reporting from ground zero at Florida to document the storm’s arrival when he was blown backward as a tree branch shot across the street, hit him in the leg and knocked him over. The winds were so strong that Cantore grabbed a street sign for balance while another one was blown down behind him.
